Port Vale 1-2 Accrington Stanley

Billy Kee scored twice as Accrington Stanley came from behind to beat struggling Port Vale at Vale Park.The home side had gone in front after David Worrall scored his first Vale goal but efforts from Stanley’s top scorer Kee either side of half-time secured the points for the visitors.The result leaves the Valiants third from bottom and without a league win since the opening day, while Stanley move up to third in League Two.

Vale took a deserved lead after 22 minutes when Tyrone Barnett cleverly flicked the ball into the path of the oncoming Worrall, who fired low past keeper Aaron Chapman.Stanley were level in the 36th minute when the ball fell to Kee on the edge of the box, after Vale failed to clear, and he drilled his first-time effort in off the post.The winner came after 62 minutes when poor Vale defending allowed the visitors space to play a square ball from the left for Kee to tap in from close range.Match report supplied by the Press Association.Line-upsMatch StatsLive TextLine-upsPort Vale36Roos4Anderson6KayBooked at 50mins24Smith2WilsonSubstituted forTurnerat 77’minutes10Worrall35MiddletonSubstituted forde Freitasat 64’minutes31WhitfieldSubstituted forTongeat 64’minutes3Denton9Pope14BarnettSubstitutes5Davis7Myers-Harness12Hornby19Turner28de Freitas32Tonge33GunningAccrington1Chapman4Donacien27RawsonBooked at 87mins3Hughes12Thorniley11McConville6Nolan28Conneely7ClarkSubstituted forBrownat 73’minutes10JacksonSubstituted forWilksat 53’minutes29KeeSubstitutes8Brown13Wolland14Leacock-McLeod15Sykes18Dallison-Lisbon19Wilks26JohnsonReferee:Eddie IldertonAttendance:3,360Match StatsHome TeamPort ValeAway TeamAccringtonPossessionHome53%Away47%ShotsHome9Away5Shots on TargetHome2Away2CornersHome6Away2FoulsHome10Away6Live TextPosted at Match ends, Port Vale 1, Accrington Stanley 2.Full TimePosted at 90’+4′ Second Half ends, Port Vale 1, Accrington Stanley 2.Posted at 90’+4′ Corner, Port Vale.
